I just love how expressive she is in her body language. That last panel where she’s kind of leaning away with her back to the gun-slinger really puts meaning into the single word of dialogue “Fine”. She just seems so resigned and reluctant. Your comic never fails to blow me away.

Sure it’s make-up. And Cleo is now going to stab the little guy in the eye with her mascara brush, then shover her powder puff down the big guy’s throat. Perhaps she’ll hand them a major smack-down with the case itself?

Eh, no matter – I am loving this arc so far. The tension your building here is rather palpable.
